Reality Check: The Forgotten Lessons of Deregulation and Unsung Successes of Sensible Safeguards

Reality Check, a book by Public Citizen’s Taylor Lincoln, provides an in-depth reminder of how deregulation and lax regulation derailed the economy. It puts forth a series of case studies that counter allegations that have been made against regulations in recent years. Contrary to oft-recited allegations that public safety rules are a drag on the economy, the case studies in this book show that regulations have a remarkable record of benefiting industry as well as the public.
